RGV Defends Rajamouli After Trolls Target His Comments at “Varanasi” Event

Ram Gopal Varma has stepped into the ongoing social media storm surrounding SS Rajamouli’s comments about Lord Hanuman during the event of his upcoming film Varanasi. A section of netizens targeted Rajamouli, questioning his right to speak about God when he previously called himself an atheist. Responding sharply to these trolls, RGV posted a powerful and sarcastic tweet that instantly grabbed attention.
Varma reminded critics that being an atheist in India is not a crime and that Article 25 of the Constitution protects the freedom not to believe. He questioned why believers are spreading hate when even God, according to their own logic, has never punished Rajamouli for his non-belief. Instead, RGV pointed out that Rajamouli has enjoyed extraordinary success, wealth, and massive fan worship — far more than many believers might see even in several lifetimes.
Taking a direct jab at the trolls, RGV mocked the idea that a director must personally believe in something to portray it on screen. He asked whether filmmakers should become gangsters to make gangster films or turn into ghosts to make horror movies. His tweet further suggested that those attacking Rajamouli are not defending God but are simply jealous of the filmmaker’s achievements without the support of religious belief.
Varma wrote that the real issue is not Rajamouli’s atheism but the insecurity of people who prayed endlessly yet failed, while Rajamouli rose to the top without relying on faith. He said such trolling is just jealousy hiding behind the mask of devotion.
Concluding with his signature punch, RGV said that while Varanasi may add even more success to Rajamouli’s overflowing fame, the trolls can continue crying out of envy. He ended his message with a dramatic “Jai Hanuman,” turning the narrative on its head with characteristic irony.
